A new art quilt is shaping up on my design wall. It’s for a new Fibre Art Network group exhibit, titled “On the Wind”. All entries will be 18 x 36 inches or 36 x 18 inches, and of course be an interpretation of the “on the wind” theme. My entry is based on a photo taken on our Croatia sailing trip last fall. I used artistic license to make my quilt more dramatic than the photo – I increased the tilt of the boat, increased the curve of the mainsail, and rearranged the placement of the hills in the background. As usual, I made several versions before I was satisfied enough to print the full-size pattern.
At this point I’m auditioning colors for the background. The boat and sails will be mostly white, with some navy or dark red accents. I’m going to quilt the background first, then applique on the boat.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m linking up to these blogs. Click on the links below, where you will see many other creative projects.
Already looks impressive!
